Washington Commanders
It’s week 15 of the NFL season and the 3-10 Washington Commanders will be facing a 2-11 New York Giants team on the road at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET. The Commanders set the tone for the Giants season with a 21-6 drubbing of the Giants in week 1, and the Giants have gone on to win only two games since then, though those two games were against the Chargers and Eagles. Despite the poor record, the Giants season has shown some promise, with the emergence of QB Jaxson Dart and most...

This time last week, fan confidence was rebounding after a hard fought overtime loss to division-leading Denver Broncos. Expectations were heightened by the return of star QB Jayden Daniels to the starting lineup, and strong performances by several Commanders.
That all went over a cliff in the shock 0-31 blowout at the hands of a previously spiralling Minnesota Vikings squad, led by a historically bad second-year QB. The loss marked Dan Quinn’s first shutout as head coach in Washington. The Commanders looked listless and inept in most areas of the game. Not surprisingly, fan confidence is back to cratering.

With so many implications for the College Football Playoff, there was a ton of hype for the Championship Week games. Many delivered. The Big Ten Championship between Indiana and Ohio State turned out to be a competitive defensive battle. A late missed field goal sealed the Buckeyes’ fate as they fell to the Hoosiers. It took overtime to settle the ACC Championship. UVA put together an impressive drive to tie the game late, but an interception by the Cavaliers ended the game and made the Blue Devils champs.
Other games were not that competitive. BYU hung with Texas Tech for...

Kirk Cousins will start his fourth straight game after Michael Penix Jr’s season ended on IR after he tore his ACL.

The Washington Commanders were on the practice fields again today as they prepare for a road game against the New York Giants on Sunday. There aren’t any new injuries today, and a few players returned to practice. CB Jonathan Jones (rib) and LB Bobby Wagner (knee) didn’t practice again today. Jones is dealing with a new injury, and hasn’t practiced since showing up on the injury report yesterday. Wagner didn’t practice the first two days last week, but returned Friday and played his usual 100% of snaps on defense. Expect him back at practice tomorrow, and on the field in...

Kliff Kingsbury talked to the media before Thursday’s practice. He was asked about Jayden Daniels’ development this season, and how it has been affected by his injuries, and injuries to other starters on offense. The team hasn’t been able to get into a rhythm due to the amount of injuries not allowing consistency in practice and games. He called this a unique year, as the team tried to play to their strengths from last season, but they were limited by several factors.
Kliff Kingsbury regrets a lot of things about the Commanders’ 31-0 loss to the Vikings last week. “Scoring...

Washington Commanders Coach Dan Quinn announced Wednesday that quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s road game against the New York Giants. For the seventh time this season, Marcus Mariota will start in his place.
Daniels was knocked out of the Commanders’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday after getting blocked on an interception return and landing on his left elbow, which he dislocated against the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 2.
“[There were] no structural setbacks,” Quinn...

Both teams approached the Week 14 match between the Commanders and Vikings badly in need of a get-right win. The mood on Hogs Haven was upbeat, with Jayden Daniels’ first start since Week 9 headlining a list of starters recently returning from injury. A week after taking the second-seed Denver Broncos to an overtime nail-biter, it might have felt like Washington had the advantage, even on the road.
That just goes to show that a 3-9 team on a seven-game losing streak can’t take any games for granted. Who knew?
With the 0-31 blowout loss to the previously struggling Minnesota...
